I'm sure there may be other reasons, it's just interesting

Value of women in sports, and the responsibilities of internet search engines.

Google summary for Phil Tufnell: Cricketer
Matt Dawson: Rugby union player
Sue Barker: British former television presenter

Barker is a multiple WTA title and Grand Slam winner

[Freyja McCreery @freymcc]

Is this gender bias in automated descriptions or is it based on what the subject is most well known for? And if it is the latter, is there not a responsibility to adjust descriptors?

After all, Barker is presumably a sports television presenter because of her sporting career.

I'm not here often because I'm on the CModS account instead but this match and what it represents was brilliant and I'm so glad they're not stopping.

I played for the Y6 girl's team when I was in Y5 because I loved it and was good enough. At secondary, I couldn't play any more.

Hey gender and identity people; who am I looking for if I want an inbetween of Butler's performativity and an essentialist viewpoint? Who argues that the self is the product of both performance and an inner, essential selfhood/"core doer behind the deed"? #AcademicChatter

Although I've had to tweet about the #REF2021 results over on the department's twitter page, take a look at this depressing statistic

[Freyja McCreery @freymcc]

@zaynab_seedat @openinnovteam Amazing! Good luck ☺ I'm waiting to hear back about funding for a place in September so I will be watching your tweets with interest!

[Freyja McCreery @freymcc]

@zaynab_seedat @UoYEnglish @ucu Thank you! You do too! 😁 Including the ones that got taken down, it was a very brave move!

[Freyja McCreery @freymcc]

@hayleylouisephd Love it!

Applicable to so many situations

[Sketchplanations @sketchplanator]

It's easy to want to fill an awkward silence. Often, however, a pause in conversation is time people need to think. When conducting research, and maybe just in normal conversations, try to trust the questions that you ask and avoid filling the silence after asking a question.

[Freyja McCreery @freymcc]

@GhostingDani @IGADublin2022 Sounds very interesting! Congrats ☺

Tweeting this again because seeing posts/tweets that don’t mention disability pay gap. Wonder why disability is frequently forgotten?
